> massive income inequality. If you're at the bottom of the heap watching massively wealthy individuals controlling a large portion of your daily life this is a perfect microcosm of the confusion about inequality (you didnt say inequality but MASSIVE inequality, but the magnitude is not important). the inequality premise is non-causal to the actual problem, which you yourself immediately state: control. the issue is not inequality, but the loss of ability to transition from low to high income. inequality is a necessary, sufficient, and desired outcome of any system - by definition. we should be fighting generational inequality, not inequality itself. the system needs to encourage mobility and allow for potential maximization. its ok that there are poor neighborhoods, but its not ok that poor neighborhoods have gang, drug, crime, and school quality problems. equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. chasing down outcome inequality is murder-suicide. marxists and communists have killed hundreds of millions of their own people in the last two centuries.
